Yummy smoothies (strawberry is my fav), delish crepes on the weekends (banana Nutella). And just discovered salty oats cookie - also a win. Great customer service by knowledgeable people :)
Nick BurkaDecember 30, 2015Great coffee- had a delicious cafe au lait- and the pastries are good too. Small place so seats fill up fast. Get there early and stake out yr spot!
Jeremy KrantzAugust 29, 2014Great coffee, great food, great staff and even WiFi to boot. This place rocks!
Bring your Starbucks coffee cup in here and you will politely be given a choice: Allow them to replace your coffee with an inarguably superior coffee OR pour your coffee into a George Howell cup.- They stopped taking LevelUp This is unfortunate, but more of a commentary on the total inability for LevelUp to market themselves. A great payment system, but niche of the niche.
Carrie BevisJune 6, 2016The original George Howell Coffee shop, charming and calm with obviously great coffee
Best coffee in the area but you may want to avoid if hurried as they do not handle peak hours very well.
Deena FreedAugust 23, 2014Try a latte to stay. The ceramic mugs make it a different experience. Enjoy every sip.
- Yes, there is a SBUX around the corner. I carry a Gold Card. But the coffee here is so superior. Give it a try, you won't regret it.

Terence ChanMay 23, 2015A little nuttier tasting than I care for but not bad. Not sure it's worth the hype or a long wait though. Small place.
Great coffee ($1 refills) and the best breakfast sandwiches.
Great place to enjoy a gluten-free pastry and a well-made cup of coffee.
Julian WeisserDecember 14, 2015No power outlets. Fairly inconsistent wifi. Very nice coffee but all lighter roast.
Fantastic coffee, horrendous service. They mess up food orders more than they get them right. Grab java at George Howell then go across the street to Bread and Chocolate or Great Harvest for food.
- Sofia UzMarch 11, 2017Cute little coffee shop with great espresso drinks and wifi. I like sitting at the bar counter

John Miller - 5.2
"Much more shady/seems like less product than the Star Market by BU, but real close to Fenway Park and the Movie Theater, so a good place to stop for snacks&save some money. No cash back after midnight"
